OPAD was just the perfect place to be an intern! I could really tell they were not just a team, but also a family. I knew I was going to feel very comfortable and happy working with them, and that I will learn a lot too. This freedom is very good, but it also feels like a big responsibility and challenge! Today is the third day of my internship and I already feel like home.

I am sure I will have an unforgettable experience and I look forward to get into the heart of all the work we have to do!

Silvia Simonetta From Italy

They were very friendly, helpful and communicative. After my arrival in Stockholm, Frank, Quinta and all the team of OPAD, tried their best to make me feel like home. They are extremely activated, organized and updated. Also, the connections they have with the local community helped me not only get socialized easier.
